Nicely done science book.

THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR THE EASILY SQUICKED
I just wanted to get that out there and clear. The prose is serviceable. This book is all about how a jack o' lantern is reduced to compost, through the assistance of mice, squirrels, slugs, bugs, molds, and fungi. The photos are awesome if you enjoy seeing
Perfect for those who enjoy the science of grossness.
